2. Introduction
Intended use
A hand held poker vibrator is a machine with a vibrating, steel bottle, for compacting concrete. The
poker vibrator P14E consists of an electrical motor in an impact and shock proof plastic motor housing
and a flexible poker vibrator. The flexible poker vibrator is attached to the part of the spindle which
sticks out of the motor housing. On the motor housing is a switch for turning the electrical motor on and
off.
Operation
The electrical drive-unit is started by pressing the switch to the ‘ON’ position. The toothed motor shaft
drives the gear wheel on the spindle. The spindle ensures that the flexible drive shaft rotates. The drive
shaft’s rotating movement, ensures that the pendulum moves along the inner circumference of the
poker head. This causes the vibrations. The vibrations from the poker head compact the concrete.
